Verise Dresaceri

Verise Drēsacēri (Verise lei Chessai Drēsacēri, 29 October 372) is an important noblewoman, landholder and member of the reigning Emperor's court. The current head of the House of Drēsacēri, Verise is among the highest-ranked nobles in the Capital, having maintained the position she inherited from her mother. She oversees the Drēsacēris' textile empire, which has made her family one of the wealthiest in Cōrienor and the Dominion.

Appearance
Verise is a short woman with long, dark brown hair and bright amber eyes. Like all courtiers in the Capital, she wears her hair in a single braid that falls back past her waist, and she dons it with rings and precious stones.

Personality
Verise is a pragmatic and proactive woman who values her bloodline, tradition and status above all else. She is zealous, vindictive and naturally distrustful, and she looks down on those she considers "inferior" to her and her rank.

She dislikes her husband, Egāssio, and his illegitimate daughter, Ēdrie, only allowing her to remain in the Drēsacēri manse out of convention. She also has a complicated relationship with her only son, Tistan; although he is the only person she would go as far as saying "she loves", she considers him profoundly immature and worries he will never be a fit heir to the family's commercial empire. Still, she has made it her life's purpose to one day see Tistan crowned as Emperor of the Dominion.
